TEXAS MEATBALLS AND RICE 
1 lb. ground beef
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 1/2 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 can (16 oz.) stewed tomatoes
1 lg. onion, thinly sliced, separated in rings
1 lg. green pepper, chopped
3/4 c. uncooked instant rice

Mix ground beef, egg, chili powder, salt and pepper. Shape into 1 1/2 - 2 inch balls. Place in 2 quart casserole. Microwave at High (100%) until meatballs are set and lose pink color, 4 to 7 minutes, rearranging meatballs after half the cooking time. Drain.

Stir in remaining ingredients; cover. Microwave at High (100%) until mixture is bubbly and onions are tender, 4 to 7 minutes. Stir after half the cooking time. Let stand until rice is tender, 2 to 3 minutes.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
